With the crew stranded on an unknown planet and with no apparent means of rescue, they find themselves fighting against a ruthless enemy with a well-earned hatred of the Federation and everything it stands for.

There is a reference to Star Trek: The Original Series: The Lights of Zetar (1969) during the deleted scene, where Scotty and Kirk have just arrived at Starbase Yorktown. After being asked for a drink by Kirk, Scotty says he is already going for a drink with Lieutenant Romaine, so Kirk declines. Lieutenant Mira Romaine was a woman, with whom Scotty fell in love, during "The Lights of Zetar". See more »
Goofs
When the crew goes into free fall off of a cliff in the USS Franklin, they are shown to be restrained from falling forward by their seat restraints. However, this would only occur if the ship were decelerating. In fact, since the ship (and its occupants) are in free fall, they are accelerating at the same speed and the crew should be experiencing what we would call weightlessness. Of course, drag due to the atmosphere could create a differential in acceleration between the ship and the crew, but not to the dramatic extent shown. See more »
Quotes
Doctor 'Bones' McCoy:
[after removing shrapnel from Spock]
Yeah. They say it hurts less if it's a surprise.
Commander Spock:
If I may adopt a parlance with which you are familiar, I can confirm your theory to be horseshit.

Disappointed with this entry in the series. Star Trek to me isn't about motorcycles and loud music, it's more about exploring science fiction concepts and themes through great storytelling (which this film has very little of). The "twist" at the end is figured out about a 1/3 of the way in. Lazy storytelling where props are laid for action scenes for no apparent reason (why is there a motorcycle aboard a starship?).
On the plus side, the cast is magnificent and the charm they bring to their roles makes this enterprise watchable. It's too bad the script and direction don't give them much to do. Mr. Lin, while a good action director, isn't a good storyteller. While that's good for the Fast & Furious franchise, Star Trek deserves better.
